# Industrial Specification: Scrap Cutter

## 1. Technical Definition
A cutting mechanism integrated into progressive stamping presses that severs scrap material from stamped parts during continuous production.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.5 kN cutting force, 0.1-0.5 mm blade clearance, 20-80 strokes/min**. Failure boundary: **Blade edge wear exceeding 0.15 mm radius, cutting force exceeding 3.0 kN, clearance deviation beyond ±0.05 mm**, Mechanism: **Abrasive wear from material shear exceeding tool steel hardness (58-62 HRC), fatigue crack propagation at stress concentrations exceeding 450 MPa cyclic stress**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Harmonic Vibration Force Generation**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F_e = m \cdot r \cdot \omega^2 \sin(\omega t)$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Calculates centrifugal force for vibratory sifters/feeders.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |

- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are used in scrap cutter construction?
**A**: Scrap cutters are typically constructed from durable tool steel for structural components and carbide for cutting blades, ensuring longevity and precision in high-volume stamping operations.

### Q: How does a scrap cutter improve progressive stamping efficiency?
**A**: By automatically severing scrap material from stamped parts during continuous production, scrap cutters eliminate manual intervention, reduce downtime, and maintain consistent workflow in machinery manufacturing.

### Q: What maintenance do scrap cutters require?
**A**: Regular inspection of blade sharpness, lubrication of actuation mechanisms, and checking blade holder alignment are essential. Carbide blades typically last longer but should be replaced when wear affects cutting performance.
